President's Message

Dear Members,

We hope you are enjoying the celebrations of the 29th Anniversary of the Establishment of the HKSAR. It is my pleasure to share a mid‑year update and to announce important milestones and upcoming activities that will shape HKICM’s year ahead. As we embark on this new Session, our focus remains clear: advocating professionalism, deepening collaborations, and expanding opportunities for members. I am grateful for the energy and commitment shown across our Council, Committees, and membership.

Looking ahead to our 30th Anniversary celebrations, we are delighted to launch a commemorative program beginning with the Launching Cocktail on 18 September 2026, followed by the Construction Management Awards 2026 & Presentation Dinner on 15 January 2027. These flagship events will mark our anniversary year and highlight industry excellence. Members who attended the CMA 2026 briefing on 9 June 2026 will already be familiar with the themes and objectives, while full registration and sponsorship details have been made publicly available.

Another significant milestone this year has been the introduction of Professional Indemnity Insurance, offered to individual members of the Institute. This initiative enhances professional confidence and provides vital protection for members personally, particularly when facing civil or criminal investigation risks. We will continue to offer guidance and host Q&A sessions to ensure members fully understand the coverage and eligibility requirements.

The latest CIC Manpower Forecasting Report 建造業工程量和人力預測調查報告 brings encouraging news. For the first time, construction managers are individually categorized, underscoring the profession’s growing importance and expanding opportunities for our members. HKICM will continue to collaborate with industry partners to translate this demand into clear pathways for professional development and recruitment.

On advocacy, we remain actively engaged with the Development Bureau as we progress our application for Adjudicator Nomination Body (ANB) status. Constructive dialogue is underway, and we anticipate that ANB recognition, once granted, will broaden professional avenues and help reinforce our statutory role in practice.

Our Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program continues to grow, with upcoming sessions covering Standard Form of Building Contract updates, Construction Industry Security of Payment Ordinance implementation, mediation and dispute resolution, indemnity and risk management, and safety best practices. These initiatives are designed to keep members at the forefront of professional practice and to support ongoing career advancement.

This is an exciting period for HKICM – from our 30th Anniversary programme to strengthened member protections and growing industry recognition. I encourage all members to take part in the anniversary events, engage in CPD activities, and support our advocacy initiatives. Together we will build on past achievements and create new opportunities for the profession.
